This is the very first park I took my motorhome to. After spending a year getting the rig ready, I was finally ready to take it on the road. I had joined Thousand Trails earlier in the year and set off to see what I knew. While I had previous RVs before (5th Wheel, Class C's, Travel trailers) this was my trip in a Class A.
My first visit to the Thousand Trails La Conner site was great. I was able to find a nice full hook up site at the edge of the park very close to the water.
A couple more visits to the park in the following months gave a less than great experience but still good.
Last week turned a corner. While the staff is still five star level, the park is showing a lot of wear and tear. I counted more than a dozen closed sites. Some of these sites had been closed for a long time. Potholes and ruts in the road made travel unpleasant but the pools of water (and mud) really stood out.
Granted, I was there in February but these issues were not just seasonal. Some of the same sites had been closed for the past few visits to the park.
I hope they start to pay attention to this park because its location is great.

My wife and I have been living in our camper for a few years staying at upwards of around 20 different RV parks from coast to coast. Lake Sawyer RV resort has placed #1 on the worst parks we’ve encountered list. There’s actually no other parks in it’s class!
The manager is running the place in such a shady manner that one of the front desk ladies told me even she doesn’t agree with their business practices. It was a nightmare right out of the gate but luckily I have a backbone and don’t let people dig into my wallet or jerk me around so they figured out the hard way you can’t steal from everybody.
Watch for them to drag their feet on your long stay application so they can charge you a ridiculous nightly rate for their “deluxe site” which had broken electrical receptacles and cracked water pipes.
As soon as they do approve you, they’ll ask you to move to a different site. If you confront them about why they would put you in a daily site when they knew your intentions were to stay long term their excuse will be, “there was a mix up between different departments”. Departments 😂 it’s just 3 ladies working there!
They also tried to start my time the day before I got there and will write down your CC info without your consent.
They are one of the only rv parks in the greater Seattle area with vacancy and now you know why.

This is a big park that is part of Thousand Trails. No sales pitch to join, which was nice. Rangers were super nice. Bathrooms very new and clean. Lots of trees between sites. Hard to find one in the sun if that is what you are looking for. Looked like lots of long term campers. Very quiet. We enjoyed see the surrounding area - Beaver Lake Park, Carnation, Fall City. Didn't make it to Snoqualmie Falls, maybe next time.
ScoutThis is very much an RV park and not really a campground. Seems like a clean little park, but right in the middle of Lynnwood, so if you are looking for a rural setting this isn't for you.
They offer weekly and monthly rentals, so this is more of a long-term sort of place.

This RV park has full-hook up and dry camp sites for SKP members.
The location is a bit remote hence very quiet. I like that it's only about 10-12 minutes to Port Townsend, a bustling everything-you-could-possibly want hip town. Perfect for my tastes and needs. I dry camp which costs $7.50/nt.
Works for me!
Guide
There aren’t many rv parks that are close (35ish mins) to Seattle but this is the best option. Office staff is friendly, bathrooms are clean, laundry is cheap ($1 wash), maintenance staff is constantly tending to the grounds, full hook ups, and cute (short) hiking paths surrounding the park. The lake is more of a murky pond and the geese are happy residents here so expect a lot of goose poop at any spot near the water. There’s also no dog park.
LegendWonderful RV park for long term Escapee-ers or members just passing through. We stopped here for a night, arriving on the weekend with no prior reservations or contact with them. They make it easy for you to self register when they're closed on weekends, just go up to the office and take one of their welcome packets.
We stayed in a dry camp site for only $7.50, and paid $5 for the dump (dump is only for members as well). FHU sites are around $33 depending on in-season/off-season, but I don't know how we would have figured out which sites were available. There are so many activities and amenities here for the long termers (I believe it's a 55+ park), I couldn't even list them all.
Showers and laundry were clean and efficient. There's a dog park and a dog walking path (there are signs everywhere about not letting your dog pee or poo on their nice plants). Cell service was good and they have good wifi as well. This would definitely be a spot we'd stop at again when we're in the area next.

A very small RV resort but very clean, helpful management on site but closely parked together. Full 50amp hookup. Close to Olympic National Park (Go early).
Guide
Great campground this was hands down one of our favorite thousand trails in Washington you will enjoy this campground Great location great campground would go back
ScoutI love thousand trails, we decided last minute to get out of the house and away for the weekend and spend some time outdoors. We didn’t spend a lot of time packing diligently for camping, but anything we forgot we didn’t notice. Thousand trails has everything that we may have left behind, very convenient to pick up from on-site store. There were plenty of outdoor activities to keep the dogs and kiddos entertained. Will definitely be going back soon before the weather gets cold.
Guide
It is an open fairground with rv hookups.
ScoutWe picked tall chief because it was close to home for our first trip with new trailer, it was end of july 2020 online reservation were easy,got there and they were real nice and helpfull. Is thick trees and open spaces dudent give 5 stars because some of the full timers there space looks trashy!,and they need to clean up but everything else seemed good,if not a member of thousand trails or encore it can be expensive.
Scout
If you just need a place to sleep, then it will do. Set up, do your thing, and move on. They will squeeze you into any corner left - literally.
But to stay, no way. The place is too muddy, the laundry room and showers are little better than free public sites. If you have to be in Seattle there are not many options. That's how they get away with such dingy offerings. They just want your money: charge a lot for sites, hope you will buy something in the boutique, and they do not spend any of it on basic structure (like fixing broken roads)
The bird sanctuary adjacent is also a bug factory. One person claimed 'this is not camping'. That's right. It's a cheap way to travel. And for some migrant workers, a cheaper way to live. The park is full of old RV's, permanently parked.
The staff is annoyed to deal with customers.
If anyone should be able to set up a new RV park, customers would flock to it! They'd leave this dump in a heart beat!!
As my grandma used to say, 'all dressed up with a dirty neck'. In other words, first clean yourself up. The dress nicely. This place dresses up with cute signs - but underneath its falling apart.
Fix the roads and learn that your customers are your best asset. Be happy to greet them and care for them. That is the secret to a long term business.

Called and talked to the team at midway today inquiring about guests coming into town. They’re a long term only location with 6 months or more as the minimum stay. They recommend angle lake RV down the street which I’ll add to the app next. Nice staff at Midway if you need long term!
RangerA Thousand Trails facility. Not all services are available at each site. Wonderful setting with either woods or water views.
A quiet place to get away from it all.
Close to Anacortes and whale watching boat trips.
Cell reception is bad but there are businesses and the library in La Conner where cell reception is good.
Scout
The RV park is next to the beach with nice full hookup pull through sites. I would stay here again.

Jake from the Dyrt here! Captain's RV Hookups is a convenient pull-through spot for a quick setup and easy stay. Check them out and leave a review about your stay on the Dyrt!

A new and clean RV resort about 1 hour from Seattle.
Big shower spaces for free.
Coffee and cafe on side.
Gas stations and McDonalds next to the resort 1 mile from town of Sultan
ScoutThis is a Thousand Trails facility. Lots of spaces but not many with sewer. It’s first come and you pick a empty spot. If you can find one. Only a few have water views. I forgot a couple of things so was really happy the store was open. I saw the hot tub and mini golf. There was a large open grassy area to play . Everyone was pretty nice.
Guide
Clean bathrooms, shower had good water pressure. Good sized grassy patches between most sites and some pretty, old trees. Mountain scenery in the background is beautiful. Only complaint is the water pressure for the RV hookup seemed low. There also is very little privacy.
GuideThis is my first time using a thousand trails membership so I didn’t know what to expect. The overall campground is nice with almost all of the sites being surrounded by trees or a view of the bay. But it was disappointing to find that the few sites that have a sewer connection were all taken and no way to know this in advance. The Wi-Fi they have is only at the recreation building so that amenity should not have been listed on their website.  About 20% of the campsites were being occupied by people who seem to be living there year-round with questionable RVs and lots of junk around their site. This diminished the overall nice setting of the campground.
Scout
Good little camp ground on post with almost everything you need. It is in the wilderness, on the lake, but it is also fairly close to stores and gas stations. Long term max is 28 days per spot. All hookups available trash laundry showers bathrooms fire pits as well as grills all in each spot
Scout
This is definitely a RV resort, but there are 5or 6 tent camping sites under some big trees which provide shade almost all day. Nice bathroom and showers. Laundry, dog run, tv room, plus really friendly employees!!! Waterfront is right down the street. Costco, Home Depot, Albertsons and other shopping close by.
Scout
There are several long term campers here. The grounds are kept immaculate and they regularly update the sites. They hang wreaths for the winter holidays. Lawns mowed weekly.
All are level gravel. All have grass area, some with patio pad. There is a dog walk area and they are currently creating a dog fenced area at the end orf the two rows.
A caretaker is on site and will often help guide rigs into the sites (all are back-in).
Close to Poulsbo (a cute, Norwegian heritage town), Seattle ferry via Bainbridge Island and just over an hour to the Olympic National Park via the Hood Canal Bridge.
Legend
This is a large campground with all the of camping options. They have tent sites, platform tents, cabins and RV hookups. This is located on both the Hood Canal and the Dosewallips river. This provides lots of activities like hiking, fishing, clam digging and exploring. There are several camp sites located on the river. The campground is well maintained year round.
Legend
Mike's Beach Resort has a campground located right on HWY 101. The highway is all that separates it from the canal. There are several RV hookup site all with fire pits. There aren't flushing toilets, just an it house. Over all it is a beautiful location. The camp office is just North of it further down hwy 101. The "resort" also has cabins and beach access.
Ranger
Always drove by on our way to other campgrounds but decided to stay over. Day use area is on the Hood Canal and very nice. Campground borders a busy highway and traffic noise is bad. Some nice campsites in a wooded loop along a nice little creek for tenters. Rv hookup sites are close together. Might be better if you were camping with friends next to you.
Poulsbo, Washington, offers a variety of RV camping options that cater to different preferences, from serene natural settings to convenient amenities.
